Lord Bacon, "There God speaks"

Petter Amundsen (author of Oak Island…..) was unable to source (as was I) Lord Bacon as having said "There God speaks" as quoted on page 126 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air".  I have located an indirect attribution to "The Watchman",  July 21, 1904, page 7 as follows:

Mystery solved.  Mr. Gann wasn't inventing a phrase for purposes of encoding another thought, even though the letters can produce several anagrams involving the aberrant spelling of "Shakespeare" as "Shakesper."  Apparently, one less rabbit to chase.
